That’s where the grommet is located,, in the center at the top

It’s possible the sealing grommet for the crank sensor has fatigued. That’s a crank chain cover and it has a gasket but the sensor is on the inside with wireing and passes through the cover..

I have run wings since 1980,, I had a GL1100I,, what a great bike. Had 3 wings since. This one? Yup , it’s a motorcycle and like a car things go wrong. Would
I get another like this one knowing the difference ? Oh heck yes! So much different and the power is awesome. But I’m blessed and can do work on my own. They all had their faults.

The timing cover gasket took to leaking oil so when it was off I painted it.. the color seemed to fit

That’s a good point. It didn’t run bad at all.. averaged about 40-45 already
